Oh I just saw this. I sure hope it is just a rash and the problem can be fixed asap! I just hate when our babies are not feeling well

I will keep checking for updates!

LIL MIS' MAGIC · 03-17-2007, 07:17 AM

I am so sorry about Kaya.....it is so hard when they are sick!

Please let us know what the vet says this morning!

I will keep you & Kaya in my thoughts/prayers.

Well, the vet thinks it may be an allergic reaction to something in her food or environment.

He gave her a steroid injection and told me start her on Benadryl 2-3 times a day.

Can anyone help me with the conversion?????

I'm supposed to give her 10 mg but the syringe he gave me measures in ml and I don't know how much to give her and the vet is closed now. Do you think he made a mistake in writing the mg and it was supposed to be ml????? HELP!

KimMee's Mom · 03-17-2007, 11:31 AM

I am sure you can do a search to find out how much to give her due to her weight- search on google- all the best to your baby getting well

KimMee's Mom · 03-17-2007, 11:31 AM

I know ml and cc's are the same

KimMee's Mom · 03-17-2007, 11:39 AM

It should convert to 1mL.

I was looking online at all the conversion sites and couldn't figure it out....

Sure am glad you don't have to be a math major to own Yorkies.

You just need to belong to YT!!!

Thank you all again - what in the world would I do without you????

chattiesmom · 03-17-2007, 12:32 PM

Teri - I missed this whole thread -- I am so glad that Kaya is doing better. Sending hugs

PuppyLovinNurse · 03-17-2007, 01:31 PM

1mg = 1ml

Sorry to hear your baby's sick.

I hope she gets better soon! You'll both be in my thoughts.

red98vett · 03-17-2007, 02:21 PM

I just saw this too and hope she'll be better soon...

omega · 03-17-2007, 03:09 PM

Thanks everyone - gee I get more warm fuzzies here than I do at home!

The steroid injection is working.

I would say that about 80% of the redness all over her body is gone. She seems a bit more alert - not ready to play yet but better than she was last night. She has kept her food and meds down and in all day.

She is at my feet right now looking up at me reminding me to say a great big THANK YOU to all her buds here at YT!!!

Now, I guess to just figure out what caused it. I got some different food for her to try when she starts her regular diet again. The Solid Gold lamb one. We'll start there and move on. It could be anything!

All you who have pups who have allergies, how did you figure out what they were allergic to?

Ya know, I knew I loved my little furbabies but didn't realize just HOW much till now. I have had lots of animals in my time but didn't bond with any of them (except one that I had to have put down

) the way I have with my Yorkies. I sure do love 'em!!!

Thanks again
